A Thoughtful But Firm Voice

Working with Mrs. Waring was a great experience. She was thoughtful but a firm voice and worked proactively on my behalf. She provided clear guidance and direction throughout the process. She also made sure that the process was complete expeditiously on my behalf. She has deep knowledge of the la...w and lieu court cases that set precedents for specific legal actions.

Best Lawyer for the job!

My experience with Gwen’s work was excellent. I hired Gwendolyn S. Fortson Waring to help me resolve my divorce in 2008. She went above and beyond to make certain that the process went as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend her services! You will be in good hands with Gwen!

Very helpful

Helped me with two employment issues: one wherein former employer had given incorrect account of my work and reason for leaving, second was assistance/advice on work application questions. Finally, on the death of my brother in Germany she gave me connection to an attorney in Germany. In each case sh...e did not charge me!!

Professional Excellence

My daughter hired Attorney Gwendolyn Waring to help her when all the blocks were stacked against her in an employment dispute with a top employer in the Augusta, GA area. What a relief I felt when I knew that she was in my daughter's corner. She was polite, professional and all business. Amazing ...Results--I recommend her highly to everyone needing a Warrior in their corner!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
